Prudence (Aquinas 101)

Prudence: Recta Ratio Agibilium (right reason in things to be done).

To modern ears, prudence signals caution or shrewdness in business dealings. However, this has not always been the understanding of prudence in the Christian tradition. Rather, prudence is classically understood as a practical wisdom that empowers one to be good and to act well in daily affairs, both ordinary and extraordinary.

Prudence (Aquinas 101) - Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

The modern world wants to forget about Virtue, but needs it now more than ever

I am so glad Ewtn introduced me to this channel. This was maybe a few months ago but, it was after the daily mass. I was just waiting for Mother Angelica live to come on and I saw this. I am learning more about our church and the beliefs that are important to us. I will watch more videos in the morning.

[isaiah]

Thanks a lot for the insight & for covering a lengthy topic in such a succinct & easy-to-follow manner. Nice animations btw

[renkomon.]

Also all this makes sense. Keep unloading videos about the virtues, sins, and be attitudes. I know I spelled the last one wrong but, it is going to be 2 in the morning over here in California. I may have a problem with my computer usage... 😑

Perfect! And much needed. Thank you from a Lay OP

Thank you Father. I immediately looked for the YouTube summary of your book Prudence after reading "Am I prudent?" chapter.

It is kinda a review for me. And I pray that by associating the things that I read from the book with the additional illustrations in the video, I may with practice prudence better.

Y'all should buy the book 🙂 Father Pine expands the topic really well and explains how it helps us attain happiness and human flourishing.

Thank you Father Pine for sharing this gift!
